Phosphorus (P) has 15 electron i.e 2,8,5. Hence the number of electron in its outermost orbit is 5. Silicon (Si) has 14 electron i.e 2,8,4. Hence the number of electrons in its outermost orbit is 4.
A P-N junction acts as a voltage-controlled switch. During forward biasied the p-n junction diode acts like an ON switch. When reverse biased, it acts like an OFF switch.
A phase sequence is an order or sequence in which the currents or voltages of different phases attain their maximum values. In a three-phase system, there are only two possible phase sequences: R-Y-B (positive Phase Sequence) and R-B-Y (Negative Phase Sequence).
